Oh listen sister
I love my mister man
And I can't tell you why

Dere ain't no reason
Why I should love dat man
It mus' be sumpin' dat de angels done plan


De chimney's smokin'
De roof is leakin' in

But he don't seem to care
He can be happy with jus' a sip of gin
I even loves him when his kisses got gin


Fish got to swim, and birds got to fly
I got to love one man 'til I die

Can't help lovin' dat man of mine.

Tell me he's lazy tell me he's slow

Tell me I'm crazy maybe I know
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine


When he goes away
Dat's a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine

The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine


When he goes away
Dat's a rainy day
And when he comes back dat day is fine

The sun will shine

He kin come home as late as can be

Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' dat man of mine
